Smart metering redefined
Wirelessly into the future

esolva supports more than 200 energy suppliers in Switzerland and is our number 1 in the "all-round energy supplier service provider" category. The collaboration came about because together we can manage the "smart metering" of water and gas meters for energy suppliers much more efficiently than before. What will change with the collaboration? Water and gas meters simply send their measurement data wirelessly via LoRaWAN to Brunata's Switzercloud IoT platform.

The Switzercloud forwards the data directly to the esolva systems. And because the platform can process meters not only from Brunata, but also from all other manufacturers, nobody has to replace the meter. Compared to the previous process, this is simple and much cheaper.

What is not yet efficient? Today, many water and gas meters are connected to the electricity meter. With a cable, which is usually retrofitted in the house. The measurement data is then sent from the electricity meter to the esolva measurement data center. This is quite time-consuming and expensive.

The partnership therefore offers customers at least two major advantages. They will continue to be supported by esolva and still benefit from all the advantages of the innovative LoRaWAN technology.

We are delighted that esolva has chosen us as a partner and look forward to the collaboration that has already begun.

LoRaWAN for electricity meters
The paradigm shift

"LoRaWAN is interesting, but it's not suitable for remote reading of electricity meters." Until recently, this was the opinion in the IoT environment. Many experts and laypeople agreed. Together with Optec and Herholdt Controls, we disagreed and wanted to prove the opposite. Who are Optec AG and Herholdt Controls Srl?

In metering projects with electricity meters, we rely on devices from Optec - the Swiss general importer of the Italian company Herholdt Controls, part of the Hager Group. The electricity meters have been capable of M-Bus, Modbus, KNX and the like for years, but not (yet) LoRaWAN.

Now available with LoRaWAN Over the past year, there have been many discussions, tests and adjustments in the laboratory and in real buildings. Today we can say: we've done it. The meter masters the LoRaWAN protocol and sends its measurement data reliably and periodically to the Switzercloud. Perfectly suited for ZEV billing or energy monitoring.

Efficient self-billing
High-quality measurement technology and user-friendly tools

With Brunata AG and zevvy, energy and heating cost billing becomes possible for anyone who wants to do the billing themselves without having to do without the most innovative measurement technology. As Brunata, we offer energy and water meters with professional planning and installation. At the same time, zevvy makes it easy to generate self-bills online.

The integrated solution ensures that the consumption data from our Brunata servers is automatically and regularly transmitted to zevvy. This offer gives landlords a high degree of independence because they can easily create the billing themselves.

As Brunata, we are committed to smart, innovative and efficient solutions for building owners and managers. That is why we support such partnerships and would like to thank Cyrill B. and the entire zevvy team for the great collaboration.

Construction site monitoring rethought
Real-time protection through IoT

Baupool Baulogistik AG takes care of safety on construction sites and protects valuable objects from damage using IoT. The technical foundation is our Switzercloud IoT platform. The Internet of Things (IoT) is ideal because sensors always monitor the situation on site and report immediately if something is not as it should be.

Baupool relies on smoke alarms, leakage sensors and other devices for monitoring rooms and the indoor climate.

Luca Vitale from Baupool is the contact person on site at the customer's premises. In the background, Muhamed Harambasic and Martin Sigrist from Brunata ensure that the Switzercloud does what it is supposed to do: reliably process and visualize IoT data.

We are grateful that Baupool has chosen us as a partner and we look forward to many more joint IoT projects.

Innovative building monitoring
IoT sets new standards

Ismet Sopi is the managing director and owner of the Zurich-based company Facility24 GmbH. He had the vision of bringing an intelligent IoT building solution to the market and needed help with its implementation. So he contacted Brunata AG, the company behind the Switzercloud. Ismet Sopi had questions about the Internet of Things (IoT) and its possibilities. He enquired about existing solutions that could be of interest to his company.

The Switzercloud team organized an introduction to IoT, Switzercloud and application areas. We talked about devices, LoRaWAN®, LPWAN, cloud platform, data processing and the like. In a second workshop, we went into more detail about the functions and interfaces of the Switzercloud IoT platform.

It was immediately clear to Facility24 that the company needed its first IoT devices, which were procured by the Switzercloud team and integrated into the platform. Now it was a matter of getting to know the entire solution to get a better picture in the context of FM. The IoT devices were installed at various locations in a building.

The applications included monitoring doors, windows, movements and energy consumption. The measured raw data was collected via LoRaWAN and sent to the Switzercloud. There it is translated, processed and displayed in a dashboard.

Some of the data was used to trigger further actions such as starting or stopping building systems, changing the heating temperature and more. You could say: a first, small IoT building technology system.

Efficient energy measurement systems
Reliable technology for satisfied customers

Thanks to Elvaco's innovative and reliable products, we can implement energy measurement systems for our customers more efficiently, cost-effectively and professionally. The collaboration between Elvaco and ourselves is characterized by a shared pursuit of excellence.

Elvaco produces MBUS masters and LoRaWAN plug-in modules for energy meters, which we have successfully integrated into the Switzercloud. This means that meter data can not only be transmitted, but also seamlessly visualized and billed. Simply unpack, plug in, run!

Bei Brunata leben wir das Motto BETTER TOGETHER, weil wir wissen, dass Zusammenarbeit der Schlüssel zum Erfolg ist. Die Partnerschaft mit Elvaco zeigt, dass wir gemeinsam Grosses erreichen können.

From M-Bus to LoRaWAN
Smart measurement solutions

Not all heat meters are inherently compatible with LoRaWAN or the manufacturer does not want you to simply plug in a LoRaWAN module. The company ACRIOS has provided us with an innovative device for precisely this case. It converts M-Bus into LoRaWAN. The device has a battery and is super easy to install.

As a result, the measurement data can now be seamlessly transferred to the Switzercloud and visualized there clearly and virtually in real time. Our customers benefit from a user-friendly display and the ability to access and compare the latest energy data at any time.

A big thank you to Lukas Smetana and the ACRIOS team for their excellent cooperation! And of course to Muhamed from Brunata, who can now use this innovative device to implement even more projects efficiently and at optimal cost.
